Patio Builders Ripley: When it comes to installing a patio in Ripley, there is more to it than just cordoning off a chunk of your garden and pouring concrete into it. Nowadays there are many different paving materials, uses, styles, and sizes of patios. Before you start on your patio, you need to consider the size and shape of your property in Ripley, the style of your home and garden and how you intend to use your patio. From there you can determine dimensions, positioning, layout and paving materials for your patio.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Free-Form, Square or Circular. Circular patios can either be a full circle or a half circle. The full circle patio is generally independent of other hardscapes and usually feature a focal point. Half circle patios abut either a building, such as your home, or another hardscape form, like a garden wall. Circular patios blend well into landscapes since there are no hard edges that stand out. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Ripley. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go. Free-form patios are asymmetrical, less predictable, and great for more informal gardens.

Positioning: When deciding where to place your patio, it is very important to consider multiple aspects and ask yourself a few questions. What is the purpose for your patio? Do you intend to entertain large groups of people, or host intimate gatherings? Depending on the purpose of your patio, you then need to consider the proximity to your home. If you are installing a fireplace or fire pit, you need to make sure there is a good distance between your home and where the fire will be contained. You need to look at the available space in your garden. An over-sized patio will overtake a smaller garden. Another consideration is the amount of sun or shade you desire. If you plan to use your patio for sunbathing, you need to make sure it is in a sunny spot in your garden.

Size: Determining the size of your patio is very important. As stated above, a large patio can overwhelm a smaller garden, and vice versa. You can figure out how large your patio needs to be by deciding on how you intend to use it and how many people it should fit. Measure the size of your garden to see how much area you are working with, how much space you are willing to allot to your patio, etc. One good tip I've come across, is to buy your patio furniture before you install your patio, arrange it where you expect your patio to be, and observe how the space is used, where people walk, etc. This will help you see just how much room is needed for walk space around the furniture, accessories, and more.

These things are important and you will be glad that you considered all of these options before you pressed ahead and actually built your patio in Ripley. Planning is key with any project like this and it will be difficult to change things later if you get it wrong and your patio simply doesn't look right. Of course it is still possible to put things right, but not without a lot of mess and disruption. If there is anything you are not sure about there are plenty of great patio builders in Ripley who can help you.

Once you have the size, shape and purpose of your patio planned out, you can then move on to selecting appropriate paving materials. Before you jump right in and order slate tiles to go next to your pool, you need to ask yourself the following ten questions:

  • What is the area that I need to cover?
  • What are my drainage needs? What types of materials support those needs?
  • How long does it take to install this material?
  • What is the appearance I am going for?
  • What is my spending budget?
  • What sort of texture do I want? Will people be sitting or standing on this surface?
  • Is this something I could install myself? (great if you're doing a DIY project)
  • How safe is this material for my type of patio?
  • How durable is it?
  • Is the material easy to maintain?

Patios may seem like a simple task anyone can take on, but for a great patio that you are proud of and excited to show off, a little bit of time and thought needs to be put into the planning process.

Fans of do-it-yourself in Ripley will be perfectly willing to try this, however putting in a top quality patio is not as easy as you might suppose. Little patio projects are likely to fall well within the range of expertise of many DIYers, however bigger more complex patios are better left for the pros. Also keep in mind that it is not purely preparing a base and laying down the patio slabs that is called for, it is also the removal and disposal of a fair bit of soil and rubble and perhaps even old patio materials in the case of a replacement. This kind of work can be heavy and physically demanding and will almost certainly require the use of a skip.

Deck vs Patio

Decking or Patio Ripley?

You've identified a place in your garden in Ripley that's the perfect position for outdoor relaxation, and you wish to install a patio or some decking. But, what's the better option?

If the initial expense is the main concern, then decking comes out on top. Decking is cheaper and quite often easier to lay than a similar size stone patio. If you're worried about the long-term maintenance of a timber deck then you can go for composite decking which have a longer life and need far less maintenance. Obviously there's invariably some routine maintenance to do, but this is the case for patios too.

If you favour a hard wearing and durable area, that is where a patio comes out on top. Even when a patio slab cracks it does not normally affect its overall usability, and it can be easily lifted and changed by a specialist. A cracked deck plank can become a hazard and will need immediate replacement, and it will probably not match the weathered decking planks already in position. Whichever option you choose, you can be assured that you will end up with a terrific outside space for al fresco dining and relaxation.

Skip Hire Ripley

Ordinary household rubbish bins are perfect when it comes to getting rid of your everyday waste, however for projects like patio laying in Ripley, and other garden and home makeovers, they are simply not suitable for the rubbish and waste that is generated. In fact, in most areas, garden or building waste must be disposed of in a managed and environmentally safe way, based on local authority legislation. In order to keep on the right side of the law, you will be compelled to haul such waste materials to a nearby council dump, or some other official recycling and disposal centre. If you do not want to be carrying waste back and forth to your nearby council site, it's better to find skip hire in your area.

Local Skip Hire Ripley

Taking all your waste to a council authorised site, a trusted skip hire service in Ripley will provide assurances for the correct and safe disposal of your waste. You need to go over what type of waste products will be created by chatting with the contractor who is undertaking your patio project, and the skip hire firm who'll be picking up your waste. The skip hire company might need to use a completely separate disposal system, in particular where dangerous asbestos waste is concerned.

Hazardous waste is certainly left to the experts, and strict rules cover it's safe disposal. Working closely together, the skip hire service and your patio installer will make sure that all rules and regulations are dealt with correctly.

The ideal scenario when it comes to siting your skip, would be when there is some free space on your driveway or garden area. You should converse with your neighbours if you have parking on the main road or no suitable area for a skip, and ask whether they could leave you some space close to the work area where you could set it down. For any skips that are positioned on unadopted roads, driveways or private land, permits are not needed, but on a main road in Ripley a temporary local council permit will be essential, enquire if you need one. Consequently, when it comes to siting the skip, this will make certain that there are no issues.

Skip hire providers in Ripley offer skips in all sizes and shapes for any scale of project you might be conducting, and they start from mini-skips and skip bags up to builders skips and massive roll-on roll-off monstrosities. If you wish to find out the cost of hiring a skip in Ripley GO HERE.
